Transmigration begins with archery training

Xu Youliang stared at the other person's fair and delicate hands, as well as those captivating eyes: "Fellow Daoist, let me tell you a secret, I would only give 1,400 to anyone else, but I'll give you 1,500!"

"Really? Then this humble woman thanks you in advance, fellow Daoist."

Ningxiang took a half step back and gave a graceful bow.

Xu Youliang smiled wistfully: "Fellow Daoist, are you a traveler seeking immortality, or did you happen to obtain this jade token from the market? Would it be convenient for you to leave your name and address, so that I can take care of you in the future?"

"I have come to stay with my cousin. I will come to thank him after I have settled down."

Ningxiang politely declined, then took the spirit stone and left the deacon's hall with graceful steps.

"Master."

Zhao Zhao followed closely behind, feeling both distressed and puzzled: "What was that Chen guy thinking, exchanging a superior-grade cave dwelling like this? Isn't he losing out big time? Does he not plan to stay in the cultivation world and is preparing to go back?"

"Isn't it obvious enough?"

Ningxiang remained calm.

"What about us? We finally found the world of cultivation!"

Zhao Zhao looked at a female cultivator flying through the sky on a sword and felt extremely envious.

"Fool, even if I gave you a jade token and a cave dwelling, would you be able to settle down and make a living here?"

Ningxiang had observed along the way and basically understood: "Let me ask you, what skills do you plan to use to earn spirit stones to provide yourself with cultivation resources? Mining spirit mines as an apprentice, or... I see there are brothels in this cultivation world, are you going to sell yourself?"

The tricks that used to fool men with illusions in the mortal world probably won't work here. Going to such a place, she might really become a plaything.

"Not for sale."

Zhao Zhao shook her head repeatedly: "Then when can we enter the Dao?"

"Wait for the right opportunity."

Ningxiang understood that some things couldn't be forced: "Let's go quickly, he's still waiting for us."

……

"One thousand five?"

Chen Sanshi knew he had been tricked, and that the man surnamed Xu must have embezzled the money.

Moreover, he estimated.

The actual price of the jade pendant might be a little higher than 400, but not by much.

That's it.

The Hall of Affairs is where the entire market is managed, so he couldn't very well go there to complain. He had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill for now. Fortunately, the total of 2,900 spirit stones was enough to get him started.

Chen Sanshi began purchasing materials from various places.

[Alchemy furnace, cost 200 spirit stones.]

[Golden Smoke Wood, costing twenty spirit stones.]

This type of wood cannot produce celestial fire by itself; its main function is durability, allowing it to burn for a very long time even with celestial fire.

When Chen Sanshi returns and tries to refine pills, he will need to use a celestial treasure fire. Ordinary firewood cannot withstand the burning, so he will need to keep adding more. It is said that refining pills takes several days, and it is unknown how much wood will be burned. He can't just cut down an entire forest; even a fool would see that something is wrong.

[Prescription for Nourishing Meridians Pill: Fifty Spirit Stones]

[True Martial Pill Recipe: 2100 Spirit Stones]

[Materials for Nourishing Meridians Pill x20: 20 Spirit Stones]

[True Martial Pill Materials x5: 500 Spirit Stones]

Nourishing the meridians pills are relatively inexpensive.

However, starting with the True Martial Pill, the price became extremely expensive.

The formula for Zhenwu Dan, in particular, is ridiculously expensive.

[The recipe for the Bigu Elixir: Twenty spirit stones]

[Fasting Elixir Materials x50: Five Spirit Crystals]

If you want to refine pills, you must start with the simplest ones.

So Chen Sanshi bought the cheapest recipe and materials for the Bigu Pill, intending to use them for practice later.

[Storage Bag: Twenty Spirit Stones]

At last.

Chen Sanshi discovered something interesting.

Storage bags!

The palm-sized brocade pouch can hold many things.

They bought so many things at the market that it would be too conspicuous to carry around. Judging from the behavior of Li Huzi and his gang, if they were to flaunt their wealth, they would almost certainly be attacked by the bandits.

It's definitely better to buy a storage bag, and it will also have other uses once you get home.

For example, equipping them with weapons.

Chen Sanshi no longer needs to worry about the spear being too long to carry around.

And arrows!

Arrows can also be kept in large quantities as spares.

I couldn't bear to part with it, so I bought it without hesitation.

After buying everything he needed, he spent a total of 2,930 spirit stones plus one spirit crystal. The huge sum of money, which he hadn't even warmed yet, was spent cleanly. He only had a few spirit stones left and a flying knife magic weapon.

He dared not go to the black market before he understood how it worked, and since it wasn't anything valuable, he simply kept it for himself. Even for ordinary martial artists, it was a powerful weapon.

Several shops were overjoyed.

Especially Jubaolou.

It is said that due to the scarcity of martial arts practitioners, True Martial Pills often go unsold for several years, not to mention the pill room that costs more than two thousand spirit stones and has been sitting there for a full hundred years.

Invest in yourself!

That's truly extravagant!

According to Chen Sanshi.

Ordinary cultivators who want to refine pills usually save up spirit stones to buy a second-hand pill refining furnace, starting with the Bigu pill, breaking even one spirit crystal at a time, and then progressing step by step. The years spent in this process can easily reach several decades.

Chen Sanshi spent such a large sum of money in order to break through to the Martial Saint realm as soon as possible.

Take care of everything.

They left using an ancient teleportation array.

Only one jade pendant remains.

They left entirely thanks to Chihiro transporting the jade tablet back and forth.

Looking back at the cultivation world one last time, Chen Sanshi felt a slight sense of regret.

Everyone desires immortality.

Unfortunately, his current strength is insufficient. Even if he encounters someone at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he would likely suffer. Moreover, there are still many things to deal with in Liangzhou. He cannot abandon everything and stay here for several years or even decades.

Our time together hasn't come yet!

Once I break through to the Martial Saint realm, have sufficient self-protection capabilities, and have resolved the affairs of Liangzhou, I can come back and take a look. By then, I will have almost mastered the art of alchemy, and everything will be much easier.

No longer hesitate.

Chen Sanshi placed the jade tablet in the groove, and with the surge of spiritual energy brought by the teleportation array, he successfully returned to the island at the ends of the earth.

"I've already inquired about it."

Ningxiang explained in detail: "Recently, every few days, there will be ferries in the market. We can take the ferry back to Nanling Town, and then return the same way. We can get back to Liangzhou within two months."

Chen Sanshi and his companions bypassed the ancient path leading to the teleportation array and returned to the coast of Tianya Haijiao, where they were no longer coveted.

On the island at this time.

A large number of people seeking immortality and ordinary cultivators still gather here. They can neither enter the world of cultivation nor are they willing to return to the mortal realm. A small number of people came here through various fortuitous encounters. Now that they have no spirit stones, they cannot leave even if they want to. They will most likely have to stay here and wait to die.

It seems.

Chen Sanshi and his group had a smooth journey.

But in reality, the path to immortality is extremely arduous, and countless people die along the way, including many geniuses.

The next ferry is scheduled for midnight tomorrow.
